My people from my dad's non's side of the family immigrated to the US from southeastern England - Thank you for this marvelous song, and your great humor/spirit!

krabbers, i was already sad but now i'm really really sad. though i'm sure that wasn't the point of the song. to me it sounds of longing and heart break THANKS A LOT! it's also a really pretty song :p igotthestickbluesigotthestickb­luesigotthestickblues. (i'll watch that to cheer up)

[krabbers]

thanks so much for your comment

thanks for taking tha ime to watch

[ahnkochee]

Awesome song sir, and as the song says this could be anywhere. The first thing that came to my mind was the Aloha Tower on the Honolulu waterfront, view of sea, the mountains of green, and the rains from the east. Great imagery. Thank you very much. If ever I get to the UK I will have Leith Hill Tower on my list before heading north to Scotland to Loch Lomond.

[krabbers]

thanks for watching

its not too far from london

[webbygeek]

Superb. Really excellent. One of the best I've heard. Thanks for sharing.

[sinner48]

[krabbers]

[DearOldNutjob]

This reminds me a little of Black Elk, the famous Lakota Medicine Man. I remember something he said about the central mountain where he had a spiritual vision. It's an actual place in South Dakota (Harney Peak) and I think he attributes the power--the sacredness--of the place to it's loftiness, etc.. What always stuck with me, however,  was that he summed up by saying, "the central mountain is everywhere." It's like you say, "this could be anywhere in the world." Beautiful, krabbers!

[krabbers]

thanks Don

[hoosierhiver]

Very cool.

Indiana is kind of lacking in the castle department.

[krabbers]

it is just a tower but its the highest point in south east england which makes it kinda cool

[thakoh]

Great Job Krabs. I love the smallnes of the song. It fits the uke so well.

[krabbers]

thanks for watching

[YoppyKyabetsu]

As long as it has cakes.

Again, a first rate song.

[krabbers]

tea coffe cakes and candy

[LeoHareMusic]

That is absolutely stunning in all departments. I'm sending it to friends and faving.

[krabbers]

thanks for that , glad you liked it

[lescowplunks]

Stunning the song is beautiful and the UKe sounds great. Saved to my favourites. Best Uke song for 2010 now! John

[krabbers]

its a kala mahogany tenor

[uke5417]

Excellent song, krabbers. Love the verse-end step-down.

[krabbers]

verse end step down......whats that then

do you mean where i go F to Am

or the G7 C7?

[uke5417]

1:14

F/Am, I guess

Works wonderfully in relation to everything before it in the song.

Dunno why I called it a step down. Has a sort of quieting, resting and getting-ready-for-more feeling to it.

(I've failed every theory course I've never taken, so don't take me too seriously.)

[krabbers]

i havnt got a musical clue what stuff does or is called

[iamblinkin]

Very, very, very, very excellent job. You have quite the talent for song writing.

[krabbers]

[casetone2514]

Mmmmm, sausages!

Really, really good song and a strikingly literal slideshow. The twiddly bits and glockenspeil were excellent additions. Glad you posted the lyrics as I found myself reading/singing along á la Smash Hits circa 1974.

[krabbers]

i used to love the lyric comics, i dont think it was smash hits i used to get

smash hits went down hill when i went glossy around 79

thanks for the comments on the song tony

[theBradlands]

Wonderful tune Krabs.

I think multi-tracking is here to stay.

[krabbers]

i had to do it cos i could not do that fiddly bit on camera

[mywickedmess]

Beautiful! I love the song, lovely melody and I even like the b&w video.

Thanks for posting it. Please don't take it down!

[krabbers]

[ctrymaus]

Well, *I* like it--please don't take it down! The black & white gives it a slightly sinister feel, but the song itself is very sweet. I didn't hear anything off in your playing at all!

[krabbers]

sinister , ha

the tower is actualy a very nice place to visit

but on this day the clouds were low giving it a very eerie feel

i could not see any of the views mentioned

[agrlfmtx]

Really liked the video on this one! I have also climbed steps to a tower and you are correct...it COULD be anywhere in the world!! Loved this krabbers!! T:)

[krabbers]

what i meant was

i get the feeling that this is too good for me,

this should not be here this should be somewhere else

this could be anywhere in the world

[TenaciousFlea]

don't take it down! it was brilliant.  5*

[krabbers]

thankyou very much

[StubyStubyDoo]

Very slick and professional . Great vocal and great picking.

Congrats K- a nice one.

[krabbers]

thanks stu

tho my picking changes everytime i play . i do get very jealous of people who can deliver the goods every time

[StubyStubyDoo]

I get jealous of those who play brilliantly though differently every time. I'm also very jealous of people with a PC mouse where the right click button works !!! aaaagghhhhh
